(Bead) Art Imitates Life (my life, anyway)

Thanks Margie,

Spike is always good for one of those "ugly days". You can't feel too fat or
frumpy, when you have someone following you around, watching you, like you
are his deity.

See why I like dog so much? It takes so little to make their day.

I do indeed see why! I like him too and I'm very fussy about dogs.
His glass counterparts are pretty cool too. g

and watching out the window for evil squirrels:

This weekend, while running errands, DD and I saw this "Fleecy Man", as we
call them, in the form of a hippo. We just couldn't resist. Spike loves
fleecy toy. His first year or so with us, he'd pull out the squeakers,
and
I'd sew them back up. After a while, he learned that he loved being able
to
make noise, so he left the squeakers alone.

We came home and casually left the hippo on the edge of the kitchen
counter
and when Spike came in the room, we didn't say anything. It took him
about
a minute to notice, and he jumped up and snatched his new "Fleecy Man".
And this dog never jumps up at the counters! He ran happily around the
house for about 10 minutes, tossing his head, showing off. It took about
a
day before Spike even put the hippo down. He carried it everywhere,
except
outside, and when he went to bed, he carried it in there and put it in his
bed and slept with it. When he got up in the morning, he was still
carrying
it around.

Spike looks like a lab/dalmation mix. He's got some black spots in his
white chest, and black spots on his belly. He also has the very short hair,
more like a dal than a lab.

My old fella, Romeo is part lab, too. Both of them were street puppies. I
usually say, "pound hounds", but my DD doesn't like this since they didn't
actually come from the pound.

They sure are. Smudges is one of the best dogs ever, but I'm biased.

Gasp! ---You mean you didn't know? Of course -- giant blue hippos are a well
known squirrel repellant! :-O

Or sad, either!

Tell again where they came from? I forgot.
